Reviews
This work for students and fans looks at gender, especially the roles and meanings of women, in contemporary horror films, covering both American and international films. Thematic sections on bodies, boundaries, and captivity consider women as victims, monsters, hypersexual, and even cannibals. Many contributors draw on the ideas of film scholar Carol J. Clover. Works discussed include Bubba Ho-Tep, Game of Werewolves, What Lies Beneath, and the Resident Evil films. Some topics considered are gay porn horror parodies, Turkish horror cinema, Latin American abduction horror films, and depictions of black masculinity in Get Out. -- Annotation ©2019 * (protoview.com) *
